'Cannot install librdkafka on Mac Monterey

I'm trying to install librdkafka on Mac Monterey:

https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka

It says:

brew install librdkafka

However, I'm getting compiler errors indicating it's missing. Upon taking a look i was expecting it to install in /usr/local/lib but it's not there.

When I do:

find . -name "*kafka*"

I'm still not finding it (or at least nothing which looks like it).

If I try running brew again I get:

Warning: librdkafka 1.8.2 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 1.8.2, run:
  brew reinstall librdkafka

By default, Homebrew should be using /usr/local/Cellar

$ brew install librdkafka

I'm getting compiler errors indicating it's missing

I suspect these errors say something else is missing
